Konark Dance Festival 2022
The enthralling Konark Dance Festival [Edit i] is held every year, from 1st to 5th December [Edit ii] in Open Air Auditorium, Konark, in the backdrop of the mammoth Sun Temple. Launched in 1989, it is co-organised by the Tourism Department and Odissi Research Centre [Edit iii] to provide a platform for classical dancers in India and as well as [Edit iv] to act as showcase for India’s cultural depth where dance forms are concerned. [Edit v] It also comes as a right opportunity for budding artists who are yet to make their presence felt on the international scale.
Conceived as a festival of the classical dances of India, the objective of the Konark Festival was to promote Konark as well as Odisha as a tourist destination. The Konark Dance Festival showcases the best of the traditional and classical dance forms of India besides offering interesting insights into the rich cultural and dance heritage of the country. The Konark Sun Temple is a solitary splendor par excellence built in the 13th century A.D. Folklore and mythology have created layers of legends shrouding the genesis of this world heritage monument.
The leading exponents and dance enthusiasts of almost all the main classical dance forms of India– including Odissi, Bharatanatyam, Manipuri, Kathakali, Kathak, Kuchipudi and Sattriya– take part in the five-day classical dance carnival [Edit vi] much adding to the appeal of the event that has few parallels elsewhere.
